Our colleague, Jeff Mosier in Arlington reports from today’s TxDOT party, where they marked the midway point for the big Interstate 30 project. The new lanes will eventually have managed lanes, and here is his dispatch:

Arlington is known as the largest city in the nation without mass transit, but DART is looming in its future. No. It’s not what you might think.

The widened Interstate 30 in Arlington will have managed lanes, possibly HOV or toll or a hybrid. And DART, the region’s largest mass transit agency will manage those lanes in the city that has repeatedly rejected mass transit.

Details are still sketchy about when the managed lanes will open. Local officials gathered in Arlington this morning to celebrate the halfway mark in construction the highway and bridge expansions. The entire project is expected to be completed in late 2010.
